Tsuwano Casle ruins, May 10th, 2009


Last weekend, my son and I visited to the ruins of Tsuwano castle in the next town. This mountain castle was built in Middle Age and there still remains some rock cliffs on hilltop. Once when this castle was attacked, people was shut themselves in this castle for more than three months and the enemy was gave up. This castle was very difficult to attack. Unfortunately, in the beginning of Meiji(after Tokugawa Shogunate), this castle building was pulled down. This picture is a way from a smaller tower to the main tower.
